Chapter Nine

 Indeed, Ifunanya has endured endlessly and redraw her focus to make it right, to meet her feelings and touch Chikeliuba, even if it isn't physical but by all means from her passion falling debris. Miss fortune makes people to be innovative, it makes people to question their strategy. Just like her, she questioned her weakness to reach out to him by all means.There was no network in the mining site, it is hard to communicate, hard to reach out. She vow to do something even as things are getting harder and she can't wait until life to be harder anymore. Her weakness never stopped her from thinking larger and redrawn what is possible. When she was at her feverish feelings, all the trees were staring at her, and heard only one type of bird whistling. However, as she left to the park through which the mining site can be connected, she began to pass trees and hearing different whistles from many birds. The few natural changes that took place encouraged her, the more, but indeed her passion is all she has. 

When she get to the park and asked those people manning the bus park about a better way to reach the site, she was told about the complications and no network. Someone by name Nathan asked her. "Why are you thinking of the lonely world? The mining site is the most lonely world ever. She was made ill by the distress from Nathan, as well returned that that is where her warmth is. He suggested to her to write a letter that he knew one man that can locate the person in the site no matter how long it will take. The level of happiness in that suggestion made her to be too homely. Indeed, she was proud of him, and wondered that his humanity was so considerate. She left him swiftly, going back to home, to write the letter."Every chronic challenge can be addressed by redrawing the route and approaches, even as it is getting harder". She said. She swiftly reconnected to her emotions and how it was rolling her like ant in a cocoon. But, she was daring the weakness with very solemn confidence. She said: ''I don't have anything to loose from being who I am''. The gap between them seems to be natural, because what she is passing through is as natural as what Chikeliuba deals on. There is magnetic and magic passion indeed, the body is aloof but the souls are dancing together, it is how to describe them in a very princely opinion. Reasonably, he has not thought to reduce her to a fling and he holds her dearly to his life. The only challenges is still the route to treasure, and it is natural. As he was dealing with his emotions pathetically, and personally, even when he hasn't resolved it, his colleagues approach him for some few minutes meeting before they could start work for the day.Unarguably, the matter that dominated in the meeting was issue of redrawing their searching methods, their mining approach. It was Dona Udoba who intervened with a noble suggestion that they should include Site Manager, in their redrawing plan, because of his experience and position."When an interesting matter has been raised, the bedridden would ask to raise his head up. Let smiles for this native Igbo proverb, because there are certain Igbo proverbs that ruled the former off from extremely funny and inspiration, but it appeared here to fit into expression and imagination". Said Mazi Chetechi. The intervention of the proverb, was exactly the way they responded swiftly to meet the Site Manager. As they emphatically resolved among themselves from his suggestion to meet the Site Manager, for his advice and encouragement took action immediately and they proceeded. 

 However, where the discussion took place was not exceedingly far, from where the Site Manager's office. Because of the value the matter conceived, they move towards his office immediately to have a short conversation. The matter has more grave deed than they thought, then it turned to a lengthy conversation.Getting there, Site Manager was doing something, just a few research about the portion he gave them and the position the gold bank can be located, since he was acquaintance with their preparation. Indeed, the position of the gold bank was a difficult position, but through his research, it can be located. Shortly after he pulled off his eyes glass, he saw them approaching towards his direction. Though, it is part of his wish that someday, they will seek for his assistance, because it was also included in their document, unless they are ignorant of the record. 

"Good morning sir". Said Mazi Chetechi. Site Manager returned. Good morning dear, how is your life?" 

Yes, there is health". He replied. 

 "How is the work"? He add to the previous question. 

He said, "it is very difficult and tiring". Site Manager looked at him with mere admiration as he added the word tiring. He later looked at them generally, with genuine mind that they are brave hustlers and they deserved his encouragement. "Searching for gold is a gold before the gold itself". He emphasized. He continued, "why is it gold?Because without the process, gold cannot be found, and it help to dig out hidden experience. I hope you people didn't forget that searching for gold is like someone looking for what he didn't placed. Even with gold detector, gold is still hidden naturally. But the gold could be found from your conviction, thoughts, unity and unique approach, because searching for gold requires multiple solutions". He conclude.

"Remember that the child is not too short to be hugged by the mother". Said Site Manager. "The gold bank is far and near your endeavours, I suggest that you shouldn't give up, but, indeed, I eulogise your courage to redraw your blueprint. From the research I did before you come, you will be expecting the gold bank in few metres, it might occur at your last strength or before it. And again, bear it in mind that pauper aloof hardworking. The beauty of any tedious journey lies in the experience ". He stated. 

The courage that emanated from the meeting held with him was massive and driven. The present energy with them can produce mountain, if they really hold on it. They now have very massive courage and zeal such that they can break the hardest rock, where gold bank maybe hiding.Kaodilichukwu's munching also increases through the courage they have gained, which led Dona Udoba to ask him if he can teach him munching. He said to him, "munch and feel the struggle".Immediately he heard struggle, he redrawn his attention and remained silent throughout the day for his quest to learn the act of munching.
